Kenyas Elephants are in peril.
It is estimated that 96 elephants are killed every day. Over the last three years, the slaughter of elephants in Kenya has increased dramatically in response to increased demand for ivory, especially from China and Asia. This is bad news for elephants. Today, ivory-seeking poachers are killing more African elephants each year than are being born.
The protection of elephants begins at home. Studies have shown that without community support, it is nearly impossible to stop poaching. Our partner in Kenya, Wildlife Works, employs local villagers to work as rangers. These dedicated men and women patrol over 500,000 acres, protecting wildlife as they migrate between two large national parksTsavo East and Tsavo West. As expert trackers accustomed to the terrain, the rangers are especially qualified to protect Kenyas endangered elephants.
You can help. Click today to provide three months of protection for these glorious animals.

(11,138 posts)1. Well, provided 119,999 OTHER people also click once a day
That is one hell of a lot of ad views. All to pay for 3 months wages for a park ranger. According to the website that costs $600, which is hella cheap wages for a park ranger. I would imagine the poachers pay at least that much to have them look the other way. Still, a worthy cause and a cash donation would not be a bad idea here.
